Bio & general information

Stacey Williams-Ng

Stacey Williams-Ng is a creative whirlwind based in Milwaukee. A native of Memphis, Tenn., she obtained her BFA in Graphic Design from the  University of Memphis, and pursued part of her fine arts studies in France, at the Université de Haute Bretagne. She is a former full-time multimedia professor at the LaSalle College of Fine Arts in Singapore, and a former adjunct faculty member in web design at MIAD.

A mother of two and a lover of children’s books, Stacey was the first Wisconsin-based illustrator to publish a children’s story as an interactive book app on Apple’s iPad format, in 2010. She is currently the  Creative Director for Demibooks, an electronic-book software producer based out of Chicago.

As a former full-time instructor in Multimedia Art, and as a Creative Director in new media (which used to mean “CD-ROMs” and “web sites”), Stacey has built a career on harnessing new and emerging media to tell stories and present ideas. She is a part-time faculty member at the Museum of Wisconsin Art, and is a frequent lecturer on topics surrounding multimedia and the narrative form.

Her artwork has been featured in Emerge magazine, Milwaukee Home & Fine Living Magazine, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and OnMilwaukee.com, and she sometimes writes for publications like these, too.

Stacey’s eccentric artistic hobby is chalk art, and this November she’ll be featured at the Sarasota “Avenida del Colores” Festival alongside her peers, called by the organizers the “200 best chalk artists worldwide.” These festivals usually involve 20-40 hours of painting temporary art on hot asphalt. (Crazy, right?)
